Piercarlo Carcereri logo

Design study

The visual identity of Piercarlo Carcereri

An essential, recognisable language that follows every bottle from the cellar to the table: the logo, the wine and olive oil labels, the website.

02 · Colours

Black and a single accent

All labels share a deep black background, a stage for one accent colour per product. The colour identifies the product at a glance; the black holds the family together.

The wine labels

Every label follows the same grid: logo at the top, wine name in the centre, vintage and motto at the bottom between two thin rules. The front is essential, almost silent; the back neatly gathers all mandatory information.

  • 01

    Consistent grid

    Logo, name and vintage always sit in the same positions: the family is recognisable even on the shelf.

  • 02

    Bilingual

    Motto and description are in Italian and English, designed for those who drink far from Veneto too.

  • 03

    Numbered bottles

    The “Bottle no.” field on the back underlines the limited production of each vintage.

The collection

The same system gives rise to different labels: a small constellation of dots for Classico and L'Astrologo, and decorations hand-painted directly on the glass for large formats.

04 · Oil

The olive oil label

For the extra virgin olive oil the system stays the same, only the season changes: orange gives way to a soft olive green, and the silhouette of an olive branch barely emerges from the black background. The product name, in large serif letters, takes centre stage.

    Information in order

    Nutritional values, recycling and storage instructions are laid out in a clean, legible table.

05 · Website

The website

The website brings the atmosphere of the labels online: a warm cream background, cellar black and the orange of the logo. Photos of the vineyard and the hand-painted bottles run full width, while the texts tell Piercarlo's method and philosophy.

    Italian, English, German, French, Spanish, Japanese and Chinese, with automatic language detection.

  • Fast and light

    Static pages and optimised images for quick loading, even on mobile networks.
